This week’s 1993 show was the most difficult to plan so far this year. Good music seems to have gone into hiding between 92 and 93, but despite the dozens of bad records I listened to while preparing the show I think it turned out better than I thought it would. There may have been a lot of crap coming out in the early 90s, but at least Boston, DC and Chicago were still holding their own.
If you have any requests for next week’s 1994 show, email them to late@wmbr.org
